Swimmer, Women here are mostly not subservient, but are fairly intelligent and believe in, God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can,, And the wisdom to know the difference.
Most Thai men have a girly friend hid out somewhere, the wife knows it, but she might as well keep quiet as raising hell ain't gonna do no good.
Sure, now she can go get a divorce if he is willing and they make a deal, then it is just like a self divorce in the states, only they go to the Amphur and request a divorce and it is granted.
But if he says, No, unless you pay me 400,000 baht and I will walk away from everything, she can pay him or she can get a lawyer and force the divorce in court, the judge will split the holdings and she pays her lawyer.
So a friend of ours hasn't got the money for either option, so she is stuck.

So they just keep the peace and don't say much and get along as well as they can.
Most folks here are non-confrontational in most things, seem fairly happy with what they got and know that it won't do any good to be down about it as it just makes everyone unhappy.
